Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this,
to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. (Jas.1:27)
While reading the Bible, walking with God and ministering the people around us, day by day more and more we understand our Father’s heart for mission. This mission is not traditional religion or attending the church every Sunday. This mission is not the big Christian concerts or programs for satisfying human emotions. God’s mission is not something super complicated. His mission is VERY SIMPLE: it is to take care of fatherless and widows – the children and adults who are rejected, abused, hurt, naked, hungry, wounded, lonely, stressed, depressed… With every day in our modern society the number of such people is growing. It doesn’t matter if it’s developed or developing country. Yes, Africa and India need missionaries. But Europe desperately needs missionaries now too… The missionaries who will not seek comfortable place to leave or satisfying their own needs only and sometimes participating in their church’s programs. Europe needs the real Christian Missionaries who will have open their eyes to the needs of the surrounding them people, help them as much as they can and bring them hope and love from God.
So, we believe that this is time not for the “big” evangelists or prophets… This is time for the simple Christians, as we and you, to change the world around us:
to loose the bands of wickedness,
to undo the heavy burdens,
to let the oppressed go free,
to break every yoke,
to share our bread with the hungry,
to bring the poor that are cast out to our houses,
to cover the naked
and not to hide from our brothers and sisters!
(Isa.58:6,7)
Let’s remember, Jesus Christ conquered the power of sin and death. He shares His victory and authority with us and He sent us to do His mission! He knows we can do that and He believes in us!
